@Fu It is an unusual thing to do; what I do is copy the Zero Width Space character (right->​<-here) and paste it where I need it.
My computer has an app called Characters, where I can search for the name of a character to find and copy it. You can also probably google for "zero width space" and find a site with a copy button, too.

@RL_Dane Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah woah Alt+Shift+F7 for advanced settings? Is this a hidden undocumented feature or is that keycombo shown on the screen?
Is it a normal thing to have hidden firmware settings?

@aral @Gargron After a month of daily use on mastodon I’m finally to the point where my gut instinct isn’t to “quote tweet”, please don’t bring that toxic nonsense here, I have no desire to see folks dunking on one another with their bs hot takes.

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@servant I don't unfollow for the f-word but it's in my list of blocked words 💯

I am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.

Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.

That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.

@Venture @Dawangthang I'm going to see if I can get some of a small Discord server of Smash players to join the Fediverse. I'm suggesting join.fgc.network/ ; though Mastodon-powered servers look more user-friendly. Any suggestions?

@BadWolfLil @QasimRashid I didn't mean UBI is the right way to go; I'm not sure of how the logistics could work for that. I'm more in favor of equal *opportunity* than forced equity; e.g. I'm thinking that just the money you make is your income, except there's a welfare system for the less fortunate.

@QasimRashid It's not an either/or proposition. A society can and should invest in both.

@BadWolfLil Totally. Both are necessary to invest in.
Though otherwise I think @QasimRashid has a good point.

@tripplehelix @RL_Dane Unfortunately OpenBoard does not. Gboard does though. And Samsung keyboard does anyway

Wow, I didn't realize I was posting and boosting this much lately... sorry 'bout that
